Any service that requires a password will have its share of odd passwords, but some of the examples from job hunters on LinkedIn seem exceptionally dark. BuzzFeed compiled 23 of them, most of which are Safe For Work. Here are a few:

• anyjob
• lasttry
• hopeless
• solonely
• fireme
• hatemyjob

The list gets even more disturbing as it counts down to No. 1.

On a lighter note, (at least) one password was “bieber,” which inspired this tweet:

How is anyone using bieber as a password old enough to get a job, let alone be on linked-in?

All joking aside, the LinkedIn hack is significant because, as Joe Wilcox wrote for betanews, the social network is geared toward business users so most of the people on the site are sharing their real information.

Wilcox spoke with Cameron Camp of ESET security, who said:

“The difference with this hack, as opposed to many others, is that people put their real information about themselves professionally on the site, not just what party they plan on attending, ala Facebook and others. And every time one of your LinkedIn contacts updates their profile, you get updates from LinkedIn showing what’s happening. This has the aggregate effect of garnering a form of peer review on what you post about yourself, knowing that it is exposed potentially to those business or career contacts that have a direct impact on your life.”
